I'm sorry but Stirling was shit. He wasn't dangerous at all.

Last time England lost in an opening game in the World Cup was in 1986 against Portugal

We lost but I thought we showed a bit of fight and made enough chances, had a go with a young team. Not the end of the world!

I am aware of how football points are awarded.
I was getting at the fact you have to win 2/3 so can only slip up once. We've used our get out of jail card already.
Rooney was crap.
Wilshire was crap. He's not going to best 4 players at a time.
The rest all done well.

We were second best tonight, but I was impressed with most of the players. Welbeck is a monster, Sturidge took his goal well, Sterling was exciting, Henderson was solid and the central defenders were alright. The main problems were Rooney (as per lots of predictions), Baines (lets just hope it was an off day) and Johnson who just doesn't seem to be at the races.
Sorry. I missed the dangerous crosses and him running at anyone one

It was like watching Brighton. Not clinical enough in front of goal. And why the f are we constantly giving Pirlo so much space. Ridiculous. Should have learnt that in the euros. Too much respect for him.

Rooney is utter gash, and the less said about his stupid hair weave the better.

Rubbish 2nd half. Usual England world cup performance.
Defense was awful.
Please go home Wayne.
Gerrard not influential enough.
Baines should be driving the coach.
Sterling looked good in spells.
And Italy were not that good but looked stronger and fitter.
Wrong subs by Woy.
Waste of my time yet again.
At least the group is open but we have to be much better than that

Should have been 2-2, it was easier to score that chance of Rooney's than miss; hope he gets roasted by the press. Shrek-****

If I told you Thursday "England sits better than Spain after their first respective games" you'd have been ecstatic.
